Adding Another Missing Piece to Human History
In case you haven't been following the news in human evolutionary history, this past September scientists added an all-new member to the human ancestry tree, a homonid group labeled "Denisovans." Now a new study backs up that finding by showing a definite genetic link between homo sapiens (us) and Denisovans, who appear to have primarily migrated to and mated in Asia.
Humans frequently mated with a mysterious 'third species' of early man whose descendants can be found in present-day East Asian populations, a study has confirmed.
....The Denisovans likely split off from the Neanderthal branch of the hominin family tree about 300,000 years ago, but little else is known about their appearance, behavior or dress.
